Basic Plan 9 wiki instructions for the novice: or notes on how to actually get a wiki going on your own Plan 9 machine. You can replace the '/sys/lib' with '$home/lib' in the following configuration if you don't have write access or don't want to run wikifs as bootes on a cpu server. CREATE SAMPLE WIKI DIRECTORIES ! mkdir /sys/lib/wiki.sample ! {cd /sys/lib/wiki && tar cp .}|{cd /sys/lib/wiki.sample && tar xT} ! mkdir -p /usr/web/wiki/sample DOWNLOAD MISSING FILES * create.html from plan9 wiki ! cd /usr/web/wiki/sample ! hget -o create.html http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/create.html Other files are missing, but that's the most important one for starting everything. MODIFY FILES See httpd(8) -- (more documentation on setting up httpd would be nice) You'll need to edit /lib/namespace.httpd in at least the following way: find the current wiki reference in /lib/namespace.httpd ! # mount -b #s/wiki.plan9 /usr/web/wiki/plan9 ! mount -b #s/wiki.sample /usr/web/wiki/sample modify create.html for your liking -- bellow is a diff on changes for the sample ! cpu% diff create.html /sys/lib/wiki.sample/create.html ! 3c3 ! < <title>Plan 9 Wiki: Create a new page</title> ! --- ! > <title>Plan 9 Sample Wiki: Create a new page</title> ! 23, 24c23, 24 ! < <input type="hidden" name="service" value="plan9"> ! < <input type="hidden" name="base" value="/wiki/plan9"> ! --- ! > <input type="hidden" name="service" value="sample"> ! > <input type="hidden" name="base" value="/wiki/sample"> ! 44d43 ! < </html> ! 45a45 ! > </html> Make similar edits to /sys/lib/wiki.sample/edit.html START HTTPD ! wikifs -p 666 -s wiki.sample -a tcp!*!wiki /sys/lib/wiki.sample ! ip/httpd/httpd CONNECT TO YOUR NEW WIKI SERVER You can now access your new site using [Acme wiki instructions] or a web browser with a url similar to the following: http://localhost/wiki/sample/plan_9_wiki/ Additional details about resetting your base configuration still need to be addressed.
